Where have we been?

Uh... hello there...

Yes, yes, I know. It's been too long since the last blog.

See, the thing is that I just haven't been able to find the motivation to write about things lately. You see, the blog just sort of became the victim of some very evil procrastination.

And so, some updates...
  • Ty has been doing the CELTA course since the end of January. He's one week away from finishing and doing an amazing job!!! So yes... congrats all around.
  • The only thing with the CELTA course is that it is a very intensive, time-occupying thing to do. Add to that his commute: 1.5 hours to Abu Dhabi 3 or 4 times a week, returning home in the dark. This means that we get to see each other at 7:15am, when I am leaving for work, and sometimes at 11:00pm, if I stay up to wait. That, and a few afternoons when we've been able to see each other for about 10 minutes. Other than that, it's just been the weekends -- and both of us have been too busy with assignments and such to do much outside the house.
  • Work has been keeping me busy during the day, so it's been nice to have quite a few relaxing evenings where I get to turn my brain off, and read, and talk to the cats, and avoid dusting anything.
  • Yeah, we've been hit with quite a few evil sand storms lately. You sweep up the sand in all the corners, put the broom away, and come back to a fresh pile of sand. Okay okay... not *that* bad, but as you know, I would never exaggerate in a million years.
  • Good news! Our friends Madeleine and Bruno are coming to visit in April! Their visit coincides with the WOMAD festival - so we will be checking that out, and then showing them around Dubai for a few days, before attempting to entice them back to Madinat Zayed to, um, look at camels and sand.
And so... welcome back to the blog... we promise to be better about updating it now. :)

No. Really! We will update it again soon!
